REFLECTIONS FROM THE FIREPOOL

Of the four Djam Karet albums I own, this is my favorite. Maybe that's because it is the first album of theirs that I heard, and it came at a time when there was a dearth of obtainable progressive music (at that point, the Internet was not the fountain of information - and sometimes misinformation that it is now). Nonetheless, this is a fine album of psychedelic, jamming prog.

The music still sounds to me like a more adventurous Ozric Tentacles, here with a Pink Floyd infuence thrown in as well. The musicianship is very good, with the emphasis more on getting a good tone than blazing virtuosity. This works very well for Djam Karet.

My favorite here is "Scenes From The Electric Circus", where the weird sounds and great jamming take the listener to another dimension.
